What is the purpose of the bypass tubes on this shock?

The bypass tubes allow you to independently adjust the compression and rebound damping characteristics of the shock absorber. This lets you fine-tune how the suspension reacts to different types of terrain and driving conditions, offering a more controlled and comfortable ride.

How do I adjust the bypass tubes?

The bypass tubes are adjusted by rotating the collars located on the reservoir. Each collar controls a specific circuit within the shock's valving. It is recommended to consult King Shocks' technical documentation or a suspension specialist for detailed adjustment procedures.

What is the benefit of the piggyback reservoir?

The piggyback reservoir increases the shock's oil capacity, which helps to dissipate heat more effectively. This is crucial for maintaining consistent damping performance during prolonged use, such as during long off-road excursions or high-speed driving.

Product Details

With a 1-inch diameter shaft and a massive 3-inch outer diameter body, this King Shocks bypass shock is built for demanding off-road conditions. The large 3/4-inch bypass tubes allow for precise tuning of compression and rebound damping, giving you the control you need when the terrain gets rough. This shock absorber features a piggyback reservoir, which not only adds more oil capacity for better heat dissipation but also houses the bypass adjustments, making tuning accessible without removing the shock.

The swivel banjo fittings on the reservoir and the main body mean you can orient the lines exactly where you need them, preventing kinks and ensuring a clean installation. King Shocks are well-known in the off-road community for their robust construction and tunable performance. This particular model is designed for applications where you need to fine-tune the suspension's response across the entire range of travel, offering a more comfortable ride on washboard roads and improved control during high-speed impacts. The 4-tube bypass design offers a wide range of adjustment possibilities, allowing you to dial in the suspension for specific driving styles or terrain.

This shock is a significant upgrade for serious off-road vehicles. While installation requires careful consideration of mounting points and proper alignment, the ability to precisely tune your suspension's damping characteristics is a major advantage. It's recommended to consult with suspension specialists or review King Shocks' technical guides to fully understand how to adjust the bypass tubes for your specific vehicle and intended use.
